Jordan Eagles

JORDAN EAGLES is a New York based artist who preserves blood, procured from slaughterhouses, to create works that evoke the connection between life, death, body, spirit and the Universe. Eagles innovative technique challenges nature by preventing the works from decomposing. The works are designed to retain the blood’s natural colors, textures and to expose its finite details. When spot lit, the works become more translucent, cast shadows, and project an intense glow onto the walls and environments behind them—an effect that reveals multiple layers of blood floating in the transparent resin and makes the works appear as if they are illuminated from within. Eagles’ multidimensional works explore themes of regeneration and the allegorical potential of his raw and precious materials form a compelling multi-sensory experience—providing a novel tale of death to life.

Eagles' works are included in the permanent collection of the Everson Museum of Art, Addison Gallery of American Art, Mobile Museum of Art, Elmhurst Art Museum, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Peabody Essex Museum, Everhart Museum, Fuller Craft Museum, Museum of Sex, International Museum of Surgical Science, Museum of Contemporary Religious Art, Princeton University Art Museum, and Prudential Center Arena and many private collection around the world. http://www.JordanEagles.com
